On Wednesday 14 July at the Assembly Rooms in Chichester, Dr Tony Mobbs from IBM and Françoise Murat from garden and interior design business Françoise Murat Associates shared their experience of social media with SCDF members and organised and hosted by a451.

Françoise explained how she used social media, namely Twitter, LinkedIn and blogging, to connect, network and engage with people, while Tony gave a comprehensive overview of social media and how it is being used at IBM. The message from both speakers when using social media was clear: be open, honest and genuine.

The evening was a great success, and more formal and informal meetings will be planned for the future.
